Client/Group progress summary

Client has been making progress in some aspects but also regressing with his cell phone use. He is starting to really notice how much his compulsive cell phone use is affecting his mental health.

Reflection and self-evaluation

I feel that I am slowly becoming more confident and find myself being more persistent with certain ideas than I was with past clients, for example, in my discussion about the importance of stillness in silence with this client I was more adamant than I had been in the past, but I felt that it was in a good way.

Final Client/Group ReportAfter seeing your client/group (for at least 4 sessions including interactive intake)
Please remember practicum is a learning experience. You’ll learn more from sharing what’s accurate than from what might “look good”. Things you did well, not so well, problems and questions are all valid and useful tools to teach you. We can’t serve you to become the best clinician you can be if you don’t share your challenges and mistakes. Success is anything from which you learn. You can continue to add Session entries after submitting this Final Client/Group Report.
Plan for next session

Next session we will continue to read and discuss the yoga sutras since that went well today. Asana and pranayama practice will continue, and we will do a longer silent meditation next time.
